[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Panther problem

[Adam Chamberlin]

This is my first reply to this mailing list, and also only my 5th day  
using Missing Sync. I can't solve your problem Syd but I did upgrade to  
Panther today and everything worked fine. I was running 10.2.8 on a G4  
iMac. I did a complete back-up of my home drive then just did a  
straight Upgrade. Connected my iPaq 2210 via BlueTooth and MS came to  
life and everything went fine (except for the new Contact app decided  
to format all phone numbers to US standard)

Hope you get it sorted.
